The community erupted in controversy around the question “Is Zeus’ FMVP 2023 really worth it?”
Zeus’ FMVP title became a controversial topic after the T1 drama
At Worlds 2023, after a difficult journey, T1 reached the final match of the most prestigious tournament in League of Legends. And the final was completely one-sided, with the championship going to the LCK representative after a quick 3-0 victory. Zeus himself was elected FMVP for his good performance in this match, with the other opponent being “Top God” TheShy.
Zeus is the FMVP of Worlds 2023 but currently this title is being debated
But after Zeus became a “criminal” in the transfer drama with T1, and when many of his fans used the 2023 FMVP title to criticize the fans of this team, many T1 fans are starting to consider the value of Zeus’ FMVP title.
After the transfer drama, some T1 fans reanalyzed Zeus’ FMVP value
So, is Zeus’ FMVP really worth it?
First, we must confirm a fact: Zeus has made a major contribution to helping T1 reach Worlds 2023. He is only somewhat obscure, when the meta reverses his way to the throne in 2024. It can be said that in 2023, Zeus The competition is still at a very good level, top of the League of Legends industry.
In fact, in 2023, Zeus performed very well
In fact, the final match of Worlds 2023 can be said to be too one-sided. Weibo Gaming was the weakest representative of the LPL that year, and most of the League of Legends community probably considered the T1 match against JD Gaming to be the truly decisive match. And in this match, Faker was the one who had the situation that decided the match in game 3, and commentator Hoang Luan’s commentary on the situation became a “model text”.
But because the match against JDG was too dramatic and the WBG match was too one-sided, many viewers felt “not yet”.
Therefore, it is difficult to blame the audience for pouring their emotions into the Semi-final match against JDG, and the WBG match was just a “procedure”. WBG itself could not win against T1 in any lane. It’s a domino effect and it’s not surprising that Zeus has enough space and time as well as a comfortable mentality to explode.
Saying that does not mean denying Zeus’ efforts, especially when his Aatrox once had a “1 pound 4” performance that was admired by many T1 fans at that time. But because T1 won so quickly, the feeling of many fans is “not yet”. Since then, Zeus’s FMVP is also said to have lost some of its meaning.
In fact, in 2023, Zeus performed very well
Especially compared to Faker’s FMVP in 2024, when the “Demon King” truly revived with the most spectacular highlights. Even Zeus was the only one who did not join his teammates when pushing into BLG’s main house when he had been defeated before.
In addition, most importantly: the opinion that Zeus’ FMVP has “lost its value” is probably a bit emotional, as he left T1 in a way that no one expected. Disappointment leads to disappointment and from there, leading to the reaction of some T1 fans as above is understandable.
Many T1 fans may have been a bit sentimental in thinking that Zeus’s FMVP was less valuable
But it would be extremely cruel to deny Zeus’ efforts in T1’s journey. After all, League of Legends is also a 5-player game and each weak link causes the whole team to face difficulties. Zeus left during a dramatic transfer window, but that’s the story of the transfer season. Before that, it is impossible to deny the contribution of Top Street born in 2004 in the historical achievements of T1.
